A rich tapestry of British and
continental influences make this island the most enchanting of British isle destinations.
The island is divided into 12 parish areas. Occasional villages provide a focal point for
parish life.Even today you will still sometimes hear Jerriais (the original language of
Jersey).Nowhere is far,the island is just 9 miles by 5. The Countryside - The country
parishes offer a pace that is suited to the breathtaking scenery with beautiful bays,
cliff walks and open countryside. Jerseys award winning Green Lane
scheme is a network of country lanes where traffic speed is reduced to 15 miles per hour.
This makes an ideal environment for walkers and cyclists.Many beaches have won
international acclaim for their level of cleanliness both in and out of the water.
The Town St Helier is a
bustling coastal town with a profusion of entertainment and award winning eating houses to
suit all budgets.An excellent pedestrian shopping area features familiar chain stores as
well as local independent shops.
